AB 767: Sexually violent predators: schools.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law provides for the civil commitment of a person who is determined to be a sexually violent predator. Existing law establishes a procedure by which a person committed as a sexually violent predator may petition for conditional release and requires the court, if it makes a specified determination, to place the person on conditional release. Existing law generally requires that a person released on conditional release pursuant to these provisions be placed in the person’s county of domicile prior to their incarceration unless extraordinary circumstances exist requiring placement outside the county, as specified. Existing law prohibits a person being released under these provisions from being placed within 14 mile of any public or private school, as specified, if the person has previously been convicted of specified sexual misconduct of a child or if the court finds that the person has a history of improper sexual conduct with children.

This bill would additionally prohibit a person being released under the above-described provisions from being placed within 14 mile of a day care center. The bill would define a day care center and private school for purposes of these provisions and would prohibit the subsequent establishment of a day care center or private school, including a private school that is a home, from rendering an existing placement noncompliant, as specified.
